Bella:
I couldn't stop pacing.
Edward had watched me pace back and forth.
I wasn't angry…
But I wasn't happy either.
"We can just go to Las Vegas, Bella…" He whispered from the bed. I shook my head.
"We can't just go to Las Vegas, Edward. There's Charlie, and your family…and Alice."
He sighed.
"I want you to be happy."
"I will be happy…" I said.
Would I?
Edward pulled me into his arms in one fluid moment and kissed me.
"Will you be happy?"
All thoughts left my mind, and I was gazing into Edward's eyes.
I was melting.
"Yes." I murmured.
Anywhere Edward was, as long as I was there—I would be happy.
Edward nodded. Perhaps he was happy that there wouldn't be a fight. There wouldn't be tears or anger. Just my perfect wall giving into him.
"I can talk to Alice." He began, but I shook my head. "No…there is no need to talk to her, Edward."
"It's not right that she force you…"
"She didn't. I just…knew that she was right." I began. "I knew that I couldn't deny Charlie, or your family…or you… or even myself…though, you know I would be perfectly fine with a drive-thru marriage."
He laughed and nodded. "I know."
I tried to imagine myself in Edward's car, pulling up to an intercom, asking for a marriage. And then…Edward driving to a hotel…where…
I blushed.
Bright Red.
Edward must have known what I was thinking about.
"I love how you blush now." He murmured, kissing me.
"You look so beautiful."
I couldn't help myself. I kissed him back, wrapping my arms around his neck. Everything was different…everything changed since we…
The world looked different.
Perhaps I looked different.
I felt different.
"We'll go through with the marriage the correct way." I whispered against his lips between kissing him and breathing.
"I want to."
"Alright." He whispered, pushing me away—trying to gain control.
"I have a dress, the invites are out…things are being taken care of by Alice…I suppose we just wait." Edward nodded.
"Until August 13th."
August 13th.
What a count down that would be.
It was a month away.
"Come and lay in bed with me?" He murmured against my lips, brushing my hair out of my face. I nodded and followed him underneath the blankets, where he held me until I fell asleep.
